Guide to the Unknown 117: Ghost Adventures’ Earliest Haunts

On Episode 117 of Guide to the Unknown:

This week we’re re-examining some of the haunted locations visited in the original Ghost Adventures documentary! Zak Bagans unlocked the door, and we’re kicking it open!

We also have a lot of fun stuff going on in our world:

We recently put the “Little Brother” story to rest!

And there’s a new video essay by Will and his buddy Bobby all about What’s RIGHT with Cabin in the Woods! Horror through a more positive lense!

We even have a new podcast pilot on Patreon.com/gttupod focused on the original Ghost Adventures documentary!! …Why does that remind me of something…? Oh yeah! The show!

Kristen covers the spooky hauntings in Virginia City, Nevada! The Silver Queen Hotel, The Miner’s Cabin, and The Washoe Club.

Then Will pays a visit to the Virginia City Cemetery before taking everything to it’s final resting place: The Goldfield Hotel.

Also we have a new expensive Patreon tier for true sickos. Enjoy it, pigs.

Guide to the Unknown Extra: The “Little Brother” Saga – Part 2

In the finale (???):

Little Brother has been revealed! Thanks to everyone who joined us for our livestream, especially Drew, who really uncovered the truth!

We’ve been graced by Little Brother’s presence for an actual INTERVIEW, where they can explain the origins and meaning behind all their mysterious messages. To say it’s “enlightening” is not to do it justice.

The most shocking reveal might be that there’s still more to come!

As mentioned, feel free to examine the Little Brother messages yourself! Click here for the clues!

And lets all give LB a round of applause. Follow them on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube for more of their weird world!

Everything Right With: CABIN IN THE WOODS

in 2012, Cabin in the Woods deconstructed horror in a tightly constructed horror/comedy.

SPOILER ALERT!

As fans, we love any conversation about film, but most YouTube videos seem to prefer to nitpick the moments that films do poorly. No movie is above criticism, but we’ve decided to attempt the opposite approach. Lets take a look at everything Cabin in the Woods does well!

Cabin in the Woods is a Lionsgate property, directed by Drew Goddard, from a screenplay by Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon. “Everything Right With: Cabin in the Woods” makes no claims to ownership, and is intended only as commentary. Please don’t sue us. Everyone go buy the Blu Ray or stream this movie legally.

Guide to the Unknown 114: Grimoires

On Episode 114 of Guide to the Unknown:

Guide to the Unknown left the basement! One of our listeners asked if we’d be interested in doing an episode of the show at The Sayreville Public Library, and we said YES.

To fit the vibe, we looked up the spookiest books known to mankind: grimoires. The Necronomicon, Books of Shadow, the how/what/why!

Dust off your bookshelf, you never know whats lurking on the shelves!
